Title: Meter Artwork Post by: W1QWT on April 21, 2005, 09:14:45 AM I am refurbishing a Hallicrafters 129-X receiver.
I did a stupid thing and tried to clean the S meter (dial) and I used too strong a cleaner and all the marking came off. This meter had numerals 0 thru 10(9?) and a circle with a H in it if my memory serves me correctly. I thought at one point I saw a JPEG picture of this meter on this bulletin board. If someone has this could they send it to me? I figure I could print it on clear plastic decal paper and put it on this meter face.

Very observant Ralph, yes truth be told it is a Hammarlund. I must have been thinking about the work I have to do on my S-38A when I typed that. First gout and now my mind :roll: Title: Meter Face Art Post by: W1GFH on April 23, 2005, 03:43:09 PM I traced over the image in Photoshop and isolated the artwork into a clean layer. QWT, I emailed this file to ya. Hammarlund collectors might wanna grab this and keep it on file.
